Description / Abstract:
Purpose:
This specification covers procedures for ultrasonic inspection
of thin wall metal tubing of titanium, titanium alloy, and
corrosion and heat resistant steels and alloys having nominal OD
over 0.1875 inch (4.762 mm) with OD to wall thickness ratio of 8 or
greater and wall thickness variation not exceeding ±10% of
nominal.
Application:
This process has been used typically for locating internal
defects, such as cracks, voids, seams, and other discontinuities,
which may or may not be exposed to the surface, but usage is not
limited to such applications.
